Stamina gets us every time.
You watch the game and probably 90% of his broken tackles happened in the second half. We just get gassed playing against LLUA. It becomes more and more clear to me everytime we play them what defensive builds need to look like to stop this. There's nothing worse than having a decent bead on someone only to watch the game slip away because everyone is too tired to keep up.

Trogdor, and Orange Soda (or whatever he's called now), and this experience of playcalling and ownership has really opened my eyes about certain things in this game, I only wish I had done it sooner as I think I've missed out on being ahead of this meta. I actually missed out on scouting LLUA's defense this week because I was too busy messing around with glb2scout planning out a new roster for my eventual reset, trying to hack the next meta.

Thankfully aprjem is a damn good OC, and had a pretty nice game-plan in place for LLUA, but I think again we had the same problem with stamina on offense.

I think 50% of winning is done before the players are even built, so hats off to GoGetta for that. But don't worry guys, I won't be resetting anytime soon, I'm still going to be sticking it out until veteran

I will stick it out to Vet as well. I want to see how some these builds pan out so I can reset with Plan H! I already think I know where my defense needs to improve.

Once you understand this, your halfway there. It's almost 100% actually. It's amazing how good a DC you become once you have the right builds and understand where and how to use them.

It's why I said this in a player build thread:

So deciding on what role your player is going to have is very important.
Build to your Team or build to your long-term Player Design?
This is an easy question to answer. If you have to deviate from your player’s long-term plan because of your current team, then you’re on the wrong team. Why? Because you and the owner/gm/whoever running the team didn’t communicate well on what “role” your player was built for. If the team doesn’t need your player to play that “role” for whatever reason, then you made a bad choice in joining the team. Don’t find any team. Find the team that wants your player to do exactly what he was intended to do. The more you deviate from this, the more problems it creates.

On top of that, I get this perfect field position right at the start of the game off a fumble...and look at the 1st 2 damn plays!
You might also be pissed off that you kicked a FG instead of going for it on 4th down from the 1-yard line. I seriously believe that, if the sim always went for it on 4th & 1 (regardless of field position, score differential, time on the clock, or any other factor), there would be fewer "they did what?!" face-palm moments than we have now.

4th and 1 i dont think you sould be able to go for it anytimes still, but if its 4th qtr on the opponents side of the 50 in a 17 pt game you should be able to.

I did not suggest being able to go for it - I suggested being forced to go for it. I'm not saying that wouldn't be a stupid rule - I'm just saying it would be less stupid than whatever rule is currently in place.

my picks for this week

LLUA
REBELS (though i have won the last one so we generally flip flop)
SEMINOLES
JARVIS
DEEZ
VILLIANS.

LLUA > Twilight Zone - LLUA is still the team to beat in our tier
KY > Southside - Can't bet against my own team, but we have had good match ups that go either way.
Enterprise > Pain Nation - PN is gonna get their first win, just not this week. Enterprise's defense shows up.
Jarvis > General - Jarvis is hitting their stride
Nuts > Rapids - Nuts are one of the league's top teams
Killers > Super Villains - Killers starting to get some momentum, while GE is still reeling from the RNG.

Little Lebowski Urban Achievers @ Twilight Zone
Twilight is the only team to have handed LLUA a regular season loss, and I think if it's going to happen again, it's going to happen now. Both teams have the defensive personnel to stop each other and the offensive personnel to overwhelm the Defense. The main difference is that Twilight is run only. Will the rain affect them? Can we expect fumbles from either HB? Will there be a single pass thrown this game? Who knows, but I smell upset.

Kentucky Mountaineers @ Southside Rebels
Another very close matchup between two evenly matched teams. However I think Kentucky has the edge when it comes to defensive personnel, and I think they'll take the W in what will be a very close match.

Enterprise Seminoles @ Pain Nation Midgets
Going against the grain here again, but I see more upset potential here, but I think this game will depend more on what offensive identity the Seminoles choose to undertake, and I think they will choose wrong for this matchup and we'll see Pain Nation's offense really get going as well.

Jarvis Street Coffee Squirrels @ New Jersey Generals
I don't know if this counts as an upset because both agents before me also chose Jarvis. However this feels like an upset to me. Jarvis's offense is very tough to stop, and they seem to be firing on all cylinders lately, I think they put up a lot more points than the Generals can match.

Deez Nuts @ Niagara Rapids
I don't want to say anything about my thoughts lest I give away what I may or may not do on defense, or what aprjem may or may not do on offense. But I think we win this one.

Super villains Strike Back @ Kapitol Killers
This game will be dependent on GE's pass rush, if he can generate a lot of sacks early, he'll take the W, but if he can't the Killers will end up taking this one.

Week 5
Little Lebowski Urban Achievers @ Twilight Zone
Kentucky Mountaineers @ Southside Rebels
Enterprise Seminoles @ Pain Nation Midgets
Jarvis Street Coffee Squirrels @ New Jersey Generals
Deez Nuts @ Niagara Rapids

Little Lebowski Urban Achievers @ Twilight Zone
To many ways to beat you. LLUA can run or pass. Twilight can only run...1 deminsional won't beat great teams.

Kentucky Mountaineers @ Southside Rebels
Kentucky has a great defense but average offense. Rebels have a great defense and good offense. Rebels pull out a close victory.

Enterprise Seminoles @ Pain Nation Midgets
Midgets have gone down the tube.

Jarvis Street Coffee Squirrels @ New Jersey Generals
Squirrels are starting to come alive...and are in the toughest division in Journeyman. Generals beat Southside but that was a long time ago.

Deez Nuts @ Niagara Rapids
Deeeeeeeeeez Nuuuuuuts all up in that grillz.

Super villains Strike Back @ Kapitol Killers
GE and Vader are pissed and will shut down the Killers offense. 17-7

LLUA @ Twilight Zone

Kentucky @ Southside

Enterprise @ PAIN NATION

Jarvis @ New Jersey

Nuts @ Niagara

SVSB @ Kapitol
Our response to Vader and GE...Challenge accepted

For the record, I'm not sure we were ever out of the tube. We've pretty much always sucked. Ha!

I didn't mind sucking when I owned most of the players, but now that I have a number of other agents added on, I probably need to figure out how not to suck....

LLUA over Twilight
Southside over Kentucky
Enterprise over Midgets
Jarvis over NJ
Deez over Rapids
Killers over SVSB
